We’ve made changes to the interest rates on some of our Savings accounts, they’re effective from 27 January 2017. We’re also changing the way we communicate interest rate changes and will now advise any adjustments to interest rates here on the Kiwibank website rather than writing to every customer directly.
We’ve summarised the changes below:
